Earthsearch & Earthsearch II A science fiction serial in two volumes, by James Follett . This is the novellisation by the original author of a 20-part radio serial broadcast on the BBC, and subsequently converted into two paperbacks. Challenger is a starship designed to search for a planet suitable for colonisation by the people of the Earth, who are facing extinction by their Sun going nova. The starship has a human crew, but the crew are controlled by its two computers, known as Angel One and Angel Two. By the time of the second-generation crew, no suitable planets have been found. The two computers have come to believe that the mission will never succeed, and that they are better equipped than the crew to control the Challenger . But they need people to pilot the starship. The Angels decide that their objectives can be achieved by wiping out all of the adults, then conditioning the surviving children to obey them without question...
